The situation surrounding Sheyi Emmanuel Adebayor’s participation in the CAN has experienced some confusion, as explained by Amavi Ayayi Patatou, the spokesperson for the Togolese Football Federation. Here are the key points:
- Coach Didier Six’s List: An hour before the official submission of the squad list, coach Didier Six reportedly compiled a list that did not include Sheyi Emmanuel Adebayor.
- Crisis Meeting in Ghana: FTF President called for a crisis meeting in Ghana to address the situation. During the meeting, Didier Six allegedly stated that he had met Adebayor at the hotel, and Adebayor informed him that he would not be participating in the CAN with the Sparrowhawks.
- Decision to Include Adebayor: Despite Adebayor’s earlier statement, the FTF President insisted on including Adebayor and Kossi Agassa in the squad, taking responsibility for the decision.
- Conflicting Statements: There may have been conflicting statements, and the spokesperson emphasized that if there were other declarations, the decision to include Adebayor would not have been made.
- Impact on Togo’s Participation: The situation is described as a blow to Togo’s participation in the CAN, potentially affecting the team’s performance in Group D.
The circumstances surrounding Adebayor’s inclusion in the squad appear complex and have led to uncertainty regarding Togo’s squad for the tournament.
